It’s been a few weeks since you first ordered your Apple Watch, and if you knew what you were doing on launch day, then you may have already received the highly coveted wrist candy by now.

Now that you have Apple’s latest expensive, must-have gadget, you should probably download the weirdest—and probably most useless—Apple Watch apps available. Because why the hell not?

Owls Guru

Owls Guru is a must-have app because owls. While in line for Starbucks, you can peruse beautiful owl photos and read about the different kinds of owls. You can also keep yourself busy while in the bathroom with a fun puzzle game (about owls).

Spin O Wrist

Relying on a real spinning bottle to let you know who makes out with whom can be real tricky. The floor could be uneven, a person could nudge the bottle in their favor… there are a lot of deeply non-digital problems. 

Gone are the days of leaving the next truth or dare up to chance with Spin O Wrist! Just tap in the actual number of participants and let the app choose your sexy, strange fate.

Coin Toss

If you’re at a decision-making crossroads, you can make life super easy by letting your Apple Watch choose your fate. Coin Toss will free your mind from the stress of having to make important life decisions and let you focus on other things, like your Facebook feed.

Fortune Cookies! 

Described as a “fun app that shows your daily fortune in a holistic way,” this app will give you the answers your vague restaurant fortune cookie cannot—in emoji even! As a plus, you aren’t obligated to eat something that tastes like cardboard.

Watch Tag

Why play a conventional game of tag with the hoi polloi when you can play Watch Tag with the Apple Watch elite? To play, you are required to keep your Apple Watch hand on your hip during the entire duration of the game. You then have to tap the Apple Watch of other players to diminish their points. Players with zero points are out of the game, and the last player standing is hailed the winner. Fun!
